The Epic Revenge Chapter 569: The dove occupies the magpie’s nest
Chapter 569
The woman who was talking to Gu Qingzhou was not from the He family, but He Mingxuan's sister-in-law, the "auntie" of the He family.
This woman's name is Xue Ying. Her husband died twenty years ago. Her parents' brothers were all defeated, and they might blackmail her into a dowry. Therefore, she took refuge with her sister and brother-in-law with a wealth of wealth.
He Mingxuan's wife is 18 years older than this Xue Ying. The two sisters have an average relationship, and they were not born to the same mother. Xue Ying was born by a concubine.
But Mrs. He is a cowardly person, and the younger sister defected to her. Her husband was born charitable, so he took in this little girl.
Xue Ying has lived here for twenty years.
During this period, she helped her sister-in-law in housekeeping, and Yanran was the second hostess.
He's family can't do without her on any important occasion.
He Mingxuan trusts her very much, not to mention the original wife Xue Shi, even the eldest daughter-in-law who is now in charge of the family, can't surpass this aunt.
Outsiders don't know.
"...No, it's your cheongsam, is it Luo Wuniang's craftsmanship?" Gu Qingzhou smiled softly. She smiled a little big, so she looked a little coquettish.
The daughters of the He family breathed a sigh of relief.
The eldest grandmother said with a smile, "Young madam, you really have good eyesight. This is Luo Wuniang's embroidery of broken branches and begonias."
"I look the same." Gu Qingzhou said.
Xue Ying's smile is more gentle: "If the young lady likes it, I will give you a pair of shoes, which is also Luo Wuniang's craft. She never makes shoes, so this is a rare pair."
That is to say, her relationship with Luo Wuniang was so good that Luo Wuniang gave her shoes in private.
Gu Qingzhou looked at her feet: "I'm afraid we're not the same size, so I won't take people's favor."
She smiled and changed the subject.
Xue Ying is also very measured, Yiyan stopped the conversation and didn't mention it again.
Gu Qingzhou spoke all the way to the main courtyard.
The stage of the He family has already been set up, and the pennants are full. The stage looks lively and luxurious, and the colors are prosperous.
On the stage at the moment, there are two martial students fighting against each other, but there is no clanging sound of gongs and drums around. In this way, it is lively and not too noisy.
Gu Qingzhou's seat is at the first table closest to the front row.
"....Today the Overseer and his wife will also come. Is this the table?" Gu Qingzhou asked.
Last night, the commander-in-chief called Gu Qingzhou, and he wanted to come back in person.
The reason is very simple. He Mingxuan is not in charge of the governor, and he cannot suppress the tumbling public opinion at the moment.
Nanjing and Yuecheng are very close. Originally, many politicians from Nanjing set up family businesses in Yuecheng. It is very convenient to come back on Friday and return on Sunday night.
"Yes, young lady." The eldest grandmother replied.
Gu Qingzhou nodded slightly: "Go ahead, I know there are a lot of guests today."
The female relatives of the He family said yes.
The aunt, Xue Ying, stayed and chatted with Gu Qingzhou: "Young Madam, I'll relieve your boredom so that you won't get tired from sitting alone."
She still doubted Gu Qingzhou's intention to look at her.
Gu Qingzhou smiled: "Then there is work..."
She doesn't seem to know what to call her.
Xue Ying hurriedly said: "Everyone in the He House calls my auntie, my deceased husband's surname is Qi, I prefer to be called Mrs. Qi..."
Qi?
Gu Qingzhou calmed down and said to Xue Ying with a smile: "Do as the locals do, and I'll teach your auntie too. Have you been in Yuecheng for some years? Listening to your accent, Yanran is from Yuecheng."
"I've been living at my sister's house." Xue Ying smiled, "It's probably 12 or 13 years since our family moved to Yuecheng."
Our home?
Gu Qingzhou looked at this aunt who could be the master of the house but could talk, wondering what Mrs. He's mood was like?
If Gu Qingzhou, she would never allow others to occupy her family like this.
"That's quite long." Gu Qingzhou smiled.
Xue Ying said: "Yes. Yuecheng is peaceful, we can take root, it is all given to us by the military government."
After all, she praised the military government.
Gu Qingzhou listened for a while, and when he heard something interesting, he nodded slightly and smiled, without showing any emotion.
They said a few words and Mrs. Yan arrived.
Gu Qingzhou stood up: "Mom, are you here too?"
"How can I not be happy on such a big day?" Mrs. Yan laughed.
Xue Ying also greeted Mrs. Yan.
Mrs. Yan's smile was warm and gentle. After listening to a few words, she suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
The eldest grandma of the He family next to me said a little embarrassedly, "This is my aunt."
Mrs. Yan glanced at Xue Ying and said meaningfully: "Oh, it was the aunt of He Fu, but I heard about it."
After she finished speaking, she said to Xue Ying, "You are really a clever person."
Mrs. Yan is very gentle, and her words are not very piercing, but Xue Ying froze unnaturally. She had a ghost in her heart, so she naturally felt that others were accusing Sang and scolding Huai.
"...Thank you Mrs. Yan." Xue Ying said, and then said to Gu Qingzhou, "Young madam, Mrs. Yan, I will go to entertain the guests first."
Gu Qingzhou glanced at her back.
Mrs. Yan asked Gu Qingzhou: "What are you looking at?"
"She has a phoenix blood jade bracelet on her wrist, which seems to be very valuable." Gu Qingzhou said.
Mrs. Yan laughed: "Are you still jealous of other people's jewelry? However, the pure natural phoenix blood jade is something you can't find, and I don't have it either, so I can't give it to you."
Gu Qingzhou smiled.
She already had an idea in her mind.
Xue Ying's face and Xue Ying's jade bracelet told Gu Qingzhou one thing.
Maybe, Gu Qingzhou will be able to find her master soon.
She is meditating when laughter can be heard from outside.
The guests stood up in a commotion.
Gu Qingzhou also stood up and took a few steps forward. What can cause such a sensation must be the arrival of the governor, and she also heard the laughter of the governor.
She steps forward.
"Is Qingzhou coming first?" When the commander saw Gu Qingzhou, his light smile immediately turned into a kind deep smile, and he turned to He Mingxuan and said, "Don't say that you are crazy, Qingzhou's ingenuity and talent are rare in ancient times. , if you have any difficulties in the future, you can ask the young lady for advice."
Everyone took a deep breath.
Gu Qingzhou is very powerful, they know it; Gu Qingzhou is popular among the people, they know it, and even they admire her for resolving the crisis in Yuecheng.
The guests had no idea that the governor would value her so highly.
For a time, everyone's attitude towards Gu Qingzhou became more and more respectful.
Mrs. Si, who followed behind the commander-in-chief, took a deep breath before holding back her face.
Following behind the governor and his wife, there are Si Fangfei and Si Qiongzhi.
Si Qiongzhi turned her face away and did not look at Qingzhou; Si Fangfei had a soft smile and called out affectionately, "Second sister-in-law."
Si Fangfei respected Gu Qingzhou very much in front of the military governor.
Gu Qingzhou's smile did not change, she smiled and greeted her, and said, "Fang Fei, are you tired from the car all the way?"
